Details. Condition: New. Format: Paperback. ISBN: 9781473691384. Publisher: Yellow Kite. Overview. Meditation For Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-To Book is a warm, witty, science-backed guide to building a meditation habit that actually sticks. Written by ABC News anchor Dan Harris with meditation teacher Jeff Warren, it tackles every excuse skeptics use to avoid sitting still. Perfect for busy adults, self-help readers, and anyone curious about mindfulness but put off by "woo-woo" language, this paperback offers a refreshingly honest, funny, and practical route into meditation, grounded firmly in real science rather than spiritual jargon or wishful thinking.. About the Book. After a very public panic attack on live television, journalist Dan Harris became an unlikely meditation convert. In this follow-up to his bestselling memoir 10% Happier, Harris teams up with meditation teacher Jeff Warren for a genuinely odd-couple road trip across America in a rented tour bus. Along the way they meet meditating police officers, tired parents, skeptical teenagers, and even a few celebrities, building a candid, often hilarious taxonomy of the excuses that stop people meditating: "I don't have time," "I suck at this," "It's too woo-woo for me." Each obstacle is met with a science-based, practical hack rather than platitudes. The book explains, in plain English, how a regular practice can lower blood pressure, ease anxiety and depression, sharpen focus, and reshape key areas of the brain — all without requiring incense, chanting, or a leap of faith. Interwoven with reporting, humour, and honest self-deprecation, it functions as both a memoir of an unlikely friendship and a genuinely usable manual, complete with guided practices readers can try in minutes. It's an ideal next step for anyone who enjoyed 10% Happier and wants a hands-on companion to actually start meditating, rather than just reading about it..
